Not that any of them are bad, but I think they're out of order.

The Dodgers priced me out long ago. I loved having season tickets for many years, but I can't do this $150 bucks a game routine.

Well, I can, but I don't want to.

But, it seems like the Dodgers still have some of the best prices compared to other baseball teams across the country.

Also, would anyone want to get the season ticket package for the AMPM Pavilion? I believe they are priced at $27.50 a seat, and it comes with your own portable defibrillator.

I do visit Scranton periodically, so I do get to see some Yankee prospects. However, since the Yankees took over tickets have become rather expensive.

Woo hoo! I hope the Cougars are merciful.

Anyway. I haven't gone to a Dodger game since 2005, but when I did I had season tickets and sat just above the Dodger dugout. The season ticket plans I find are a good value - no matter where you choose to sit. Whether it is a 16-ticket plan or a full season, the Dodgers have made it both cost effective and easy to buy their plans. Some small increases in ticket prices won't change that.

I'd recommend that people check out the ease of reselling (legitimately, through the Dodgers provided network). In my last season attending, I went to about 50 of the 81 games for which I had tickets. The rest I sold through the provided network. I think you get access to this with any ticket plan and I am also nearly certain that I either used or resold every ticket - which was no small feat given our 2005 season (though, I'll have to admit I used most of the September tickets myself as I really did enjoy that Tracy could hear me yelling at him for not playing Choi...).

Also, would anyone want to get the season ticket package for the AMPM Pavilion?

I don't think i'll ever try the AMPM Pavilion, i mean seriously how many hot dogs & sodas can a man eat. The upper deck package you mentioned sounds pretty enticing i must say.

Outstanding coach is good. Outstanding coach who is also insane is beyond awesome.

Intramurals...Go play them.

We were that close to the Law Firm.

This is going to be ugly.

20 If UCLA hires The Hawk, I shall go crazy.

Hopefully, it does not mean he wants to drink a lot to get over the fact that he is going to hire Slick Rick.

>> Right-handed pitcher Kip Wells and left-hander Mark Redman officially became members of the Rockies today, two more issues general manager Dan O'Dowd has cleared up in advance of Christmas Week.

Right-handed reliever Luis Vizcaino, who has agreed to a two-year deal, will be in Denver on Thursday to undergo a physical and finalize his deal.

The Rockies, meanwhile, continue to look at protection for second base, where rookie Jayson Nix is expected to replace Kazuo Matsui in the lineup.

O'Dowd has had preliminary conversations with the agents for Todd Walker and Marcus Giles about possible non-roster invitations to spring training. <<

Plus, it'll teach your kids the value of a buck!

Yep, I had the same reaction.

In 2006 I was able to get 4 seats in the Top Deck for $10 on ebay. I bought them the day of, and had no problem. Talk about value!

Jim Slaton new Vegas pitching coach

Jim Slaton, an Antelope Valley High School graduate who pitched for the Angels for 2 1/2 seasons (1984-86) at the tail end of a 16-year career in the majors, is the new pitching coach for the Dodgers' Triple-A Las Vegas affiliate. He replaces Ken Howell, who was promoted last month to major-league bullpen coach.

Navy vs. Utah!

Anchors Aweigh!

After that, there will be just 31 more bowl games.

You buy a voucher for 4 field level box seats for $199 for a regular season game and you'll receive a second voucher for another 4 box seast to a mid week game of your choice at no extra charge.

The only black out dates for the $199 deal was OD & the Angels series. Looks like a holiday only offer so it'll probably be pulled after xmas.

That's a very candidate.

I'm waiting for Frank to figure out a way to charge me directly for watching on TV.

P.S. What are you talking about?

Temple?

What's with the kids today? They've all got the brain damage with their bopping and hopping...

He seems to be an interesting candidate at least, but um yeah the fact that we would have about 5 recruits left in the 2008 class may be a problem.

The last time Temple won more than four games in one year was 1990.

I remember watching Temple's last bowl appearance back in 1979 in the famous Garden State Bowl, a bowl game that was even worse than you would imagine.

I'm not worried about recruiting. I would like a coach that is good at coaching.

The reason why this search has annoyed me is that they will go with Mariucci or Chow and the rest of this is just a waste of time. Like when DePo was going to hire Terry Collins.

We lose so many players this year that we need a lot of recruits just to field a team in the next couple of years.

Remember that if a player backs out, he's got to find some other school that will want him. Scholarships are a finite resource.

I kid, of course, but I read the guy's history, and he's East Coast guy for life.

We will get that karma if we have to steal it!

Where's your God now, Daniel?

But back to Bob's objection about scholarships. I prefer to live in a world with infinite resources. .Think of all the problems that would be solved.

Oh, and Sandy Koufax didn't do steroids.

Just a hunch.

Basically said that Tennessee was going to destroy them and they hope that they do not get beaten by a ton.

What a coach.

I plan to buy a book to read on the flight to Germany, dump it there when I'm done, find another, read that, dump it, and go for two more.

Mormon Problem solved.

You're welcome.

The only good thing about flying a long distance is that you get to read a book in relative peace.

Planes have gone from "wonderful haven" to "stell cage parenting death match" for me.

76 I don't think Norm Chow will ever come back to BYU after he was passed over for the job when Edwards retired.

It's an endless cycle that brings literature to the world.

Or else the person cleaning the room throws the book away.

I have been very very lucky and not had to deal with terrible kid situations on planes. These days it seems like they all have PSPs or Gamecubes to keep them occupied.

Don't you have any kids?

I collect books. I hate to let 'em go.

Actually, I can't remember the last time I took a flight for pleasure and had to pay for it myself. All my flying is for work, and so I am either alone or sometimes taking my wife.

If you are a flight attendant, you shall be summoned when needed.

1. Book of crosswords for take-offs and landings
2. Portable DVD player for in-flight entertainment
3. mp3 player for both walking around the airport and listening pleasure while falling asleep

The only wrench in these plans is if an attractive lady happens to be situated nearby.

Being a peanut mule is better than being promised a game, only to have your date 'lose' the tickets, and be forced to watch the game in a godforsaken bar (where said date's friend was just hired as the bartender) with flat beer.

Besides, the days when you could buy a loge seat for $3.50 (same price for about 20 years) are long gone.

Then again, back in 1958 a steak dinner probably cost $3.50, and people tho
